pota is a small and pluggable Reactive Web Renderer.
npm install potapota is a small, pluggable, yet fully-featured Reactive Web Renderer,
designed to work with html and xml.
It includes a Babel preset for transforming JSX into fast and
compact partials inspired by
dom-expressions. pota
can also be compiler-less, allowing you to use it with an xml
function. You may still use transform-react-jsx or tsc, as
transformation needs no "magic".
The API and Core components, draw significant inspiration from
SolidJS, albeit things differ to an extent
based on personal preferences. It can be said that this project is
what I wish client-side-solid to be.
pota prioritizes simplicity, consistency, usage, and is subjectively
easy to understand. It's driven by developer needs, and wont
compromise these for benchmarks. It is
still fast
while respecting the core philosophy.
This is mostly a research and personal project, subject to change,
that I use for myself and to help improve SolidJS. If you are in doubt
of using this or SolidJS, you should use SolidJS.
- TypeScript types are a work in progress and kind of messy.
- Project will reach v1.0 once I'm happy with the API shape.
- I keep notes related to this project
here.
- SSR is out of the scope of this project
- Documentation with editable live examples
and a playground
